U. S. Women Study
Candidates' Ability,
Not Looks or Appeal
BY NESHA J. RUBY
Heaven protect the unregistered citizen when the modern-
ized suffragettes get on his trail.. . they don't care how he votes;
they just want to make sure that he does.
And nobody can describe the
work of the League of Women
Voters better than ~its president,
Mrs. Jacob Wallace, one of the
guiding lights of the organization
known and respected throughout
Brookline.
"Look at the way each of the
candidates are angling for the fe-
male vote and you see how import-
ant our job is," declared Mrs. Wal-
lace.
The candidate who kisses the
most babies or presents the hand-
sonest appearance on TV wouldn't
impress these women . . . never
underestimate them . , . the Lea-
gue knows exactly what it wants
ki a candidate and, in a non-par-
tisan manner, likes to see that
Brookline gets the best.
"He has to be aware of issues,
know just what he has to do and
be well-informed. His record must
be good," stressed this energetic
leader, "and should show an inter-
est in community affairs."
A former practicing lawyer,
Mrs. Wallace is a perfect example
of career woman turned housewife
. . . to devote more time to her
family of three children, her hus-
band, Dr. Jacob Wallace, and be-
come increasingly active in civic
affairs.
"The more women that partici-
pate actively . . . and I just don't
mean by voting, but taking sides
and campaigning for their choice
. . . the better government will
be," this petite Portia exclaimed.

Eisenhower. Stevenson
And The independents
BY ROBERT E. SEGAL
Within 60 days the American electorate promises to pay
either General Eisenhower or Governor Stevenson the tribute
of election to the presidency of the United States.
About 15% of the voters � the indepen-
pendents with ears cocked for straight speak-
ing � probably will decide the election. Many
of these think highly of both Ike and Adlai.
They want a fair break for the candidates and
a fair break for the electorate; they do not want
to see the general and the governor pressured
into stultifying positions and they will not
stand for being stampeded themselves into vot-
ing one way or the other by slogans or bombast.
Many of these independents loathed the
tendency of politicians in both camps to stake
out victory by trying to ride God's coat tails at
the convention. They were disgusted with Sen-
ator Dirksen's childish effort to belittle Gov-
ernor Dewey and disgusted also with Representative Rayburn's
dictatorial ways as presiding officer.

A department spokesman this
week insisted that the practice was
in accordance with "present laws"
and did not represent a jumping of
the gun on the McCarran-Walter
Immigration Act which enters ef-
fect Dec. 24. The spokesman was
unable to cite chapter and verse of
any law on the books requiring the
identification as Jews of Jewish
visa applicants.
Meanwhile, in response to a
scorching protest from Congress-
woman Frances P. Bolton of Ohio,
member of the House Foreign Af-
fairs Committee, the State Dept.
announced that it was preparing
a "report" on its Visa Division's
practice in listing Jews as such.
Mrs. Bolton said her attention
had been called to the J.TA. dis-
closure that Visa Division was la-
belling alien Jews seeking entry
to the United States. The Congress-
woman said that section 222-A of
the McCarran-Walter Immigration
Act calling upon alien applicants
for visas to state their "race and
ethnic classification" was not in-
tended by Congress "to be in any
way applicable to Jews who, as a
people, are considered indentifia-
ble on a religious basis."
"It has been my understanding
for many years that scientists have
long since accepted the fact to be
established many years ago that
there is no Jewish 'race'." Mrs.
Bolton stated in her letter to Sec-
retary of State Dean Acheson. She
emphasized that required designa-
tion of Jews as a race or as a spe-
cial ethnic group would be a mis-
interpretation of section 222-A of
the McCarran Immigration Act.
The State Department cited a
letter written by Herve J. L'Heur-
eux, chief of the Visa Division, as
definitive of the policy on the
listing of Jews. The letter was ad-
dressed to Herman Edelsberg, Di-
rector of the Washington office of

tian and'Jordanian representatives
on a Jordan-Egyptian peace settle-
ment with Israel.
Jordan is expected to propose to
the Arab League meeting that ne-
gotiations to be opened immediate-
ly between the Arab states and
Israel. Egypt is expected to sup-
port the Jordan move.
Meanwhile, the Israel Govern-
ment has decided to make no move
to expand on Premier David Ben-
Gurion's recent peace offer to
Egypt until Cairo takes positive
action in reply to the Israeli "olive
branch" proposal.
Earlier, a Foreign Ministry rep-
resentative denied other press re-
ports that a call made by United
States Ambassador Monnet B.
Davis this week-end on Foreign
Minister Moshe Sharett concerned
the Israeli peace feeler to Egypt.
The spokesman emphasized that
the conversation between the two
diplomats was not connected in
any way with Egypt or with the
Israeli offer.
Dr. Dov Joseph, who as Minister
of Commerce has jurisdiction over
food supplies, said that the Israelis
would get more fats, meat and per-
haps an extra egg during Septem-
ber.
Last week some members of a
medical advisory council found
that sections of the populace whose
food rations were not supple-
mented from unofficial sources,
were underfed.
